    i would say there is too much training and not enough cardio….you should do strength/pole moves on the same day and alternate days with cardio….at least that would be for maximum weight loss…what i do is pole every other day (i also do a strength routine using my pole during practice) then on days i don’t pole i get in cardio which for me is walking and ill occasionally bike ride. i have found this lets my muscles rest from pole while i can still get a good workout from walking on that day. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif

    Cardio makes my heartbeat irregular so I am not able to do anymore. I thought building muscle is the key to reshaping body and burning fat, I sure hope so because its all I can do to try to get in better shape!

    yes strength will reshape your muscle and burn a little fat, but if you have weight to lose, cardio is what will really take it off. maybe with doctors monitoring you could do just some easy walking but even so im sure strength training alone would help a little https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif

    I am looking at how often you are doing buns of steel and it screams at me. Any body part needs a good 48 hours rest before working it again. Also most will not strength train over 3 days without a rest day. You also state that you are unable to do cardio because of an irregular heartbeat but then have Pole Fit which is high cardio listed on one of the days.

    I have no idea what these videos entail so it is difficult to "critique".

    I do some cardio I just do not do it everyday because of how bad it makes me feel which is why I only do the pole fit 2 times a week and the rest is stretching and strength training, anyhow I am struggling with it all because even lifting weights accelerates my heart so I guess I have to depend on diet alone to get the weight off of me. thanks to everyone who replied https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
